I add to the forum this sequence of four articles written by an Italian expert of Spanish naval history (he defines himself a treasure hunter), which has written a book about historical shipwrecks: CLAUDIO BONIFACIO. The author lives in Spain and has explored for various years the Spanish archives related to the Spanish fleets and the goods transported. The matter is interesting since the Spain consider their ancient ship wrecks (related to governative military ships) still as their property, so their content is theoretically still their. The author make an analysis of the various shipwrecks and the amount of gold/money lost and transported... The overall quantity still under the sea is impressive. The overall economical balance is in the fourth article, but each article has a partial one. UNFORTUNATELY (or luckily, it depends) the articles are all Italian written....but Google translate can make miracles. The order of the articles are from the first to the last. https://www.lastampa.it/mare/2023/03/09/news/laltra_banca_di_spagna_che_sta_in_fondo_al_mare-12684974/ https://www.lastampa.it/mare/2023/03/19/news/laltra_banca_di_spagna_la_lista_dei_naufragi_apre_la_via_alloro-12703246/ https://www.lastampa.it/mare/2023/04/22/news/laltra_banca_di_spagna_loro_mancante_della_san_pedro_alcantara-12768605/ https://www.lastampa.it/mare/2023/09/05/news/laltra_banca_di_spagna_quelle_750_tonnellate_doro_che_riposano_sui_fondali-13027885/ If someone is interested, other articles about shiprecks written by the same author: https://www.lastampa.it/mare/2023/05/14/news/alla_ricerca_delle_fortune_sommerse_lungo_la_costa_dorata_delluruguay-12805340/ https://www.lastampa.it/mare/2023/02/09/news/nelle_acque_delle_bahamas_ci_sono_tesori_milionari-12633036/

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
